FINALLY - I get to use my new A Muse Studio goodies on challenges!! I've been waiting for this day- Today's card is for three challenges -
Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger Challenge (An Idea in Yellow),
Play Date Cafe Challenge 71 (Black/White and a splash of color) and
OLW43 (Shimmer, Not Glitter or Bling).
I love a top-folded card - such a great shape and one that you don't see too often on the card shelves. ALAS - The new
A Muse Studio Scalloped Border Set (
Page 99 of the 2011 Catalog and Inspiration Guide) is just a hair too wide to fit through my Cuttlebug - what to do, what to do? I found that if I angle the cardstock you can crank it just enough to cut the bottom border perfectly!
See that woodgrain impression plate - It is hands down one of my most favorite things in the new catalog!! It makes my creative parts tingle with joy!! Do you have Koh-i-noor pencils yet? I've had mine for the longest time - they are woodless so it is pure pigment all the way and such a deal ($17.95 - I've bought these pencils with odorless blending solution and stumps as gifts several times).
Last, but not least, do you see the glimmer on this card?! Nope, it isn't A Muse Shimmer Couture paper - it is Buttercup Petite Gingham paper cut and folded with the gingham to the inside. That amazing gleam comes from
A Muse Studio Stardust Finishing Spray (page 93) - After impressing the woodgrain into the cover of my card a few squirts of the Stardust spray adds so much twinkle and shine!! WHOO HOO!

You've got a great CAS card here, with so many details to look at: the shimmery paper, the gingham background, the punched border, the stamp and sentiment. It is simply beautiful! THanks for playing with us at the Cafe this week.
